Why does the right hand rule work? Why do the electrons not go left instead of right?
I can recite formulas having to do with magnets and electricity, but I do not understand why they work.
I would like an explanation that does not include circular logic (magnets --> electricity --> magnets --> electricity).

I am not an English Major, but "your" is possessive (it belongs to you) and "you're" is a contraction of "you are".
